The BC Rich Bich Perfect 10
So far it lives up to it's name I'd say, but it's only been one weekend
.
It is strung the same as a 12 string, except the E & A strings are single.
There are a variety of knobs and switches that will keep me tonally busy for awhile. I'd say this thing is pretty wicked versatile.
I do plan on taking it to a real guitar tech for setup, have the C in mind, but am not sure how the guitar would react. I will definitely heavy up the gauge of string, and perhaps get a new nut, with slots closer together. Bending stuff is pretty easy as it is actually, surprisingly so, but the low down single finger action bit isn't happening for me just yet.
This was a bit of an impulse buy, however I have been interested in getting one anyway, it just happened to show up at that store and I was there at the same time
. This was a bad weekend for me as I also picked up an Ibanez 7 string, used but in great shape for aboot 3 hun.
They can be strung as a 1-10 really if you wanted, I might leave it as a 9.
But then again I already have a 9, in the form of my Samick acoustic.
Buying strings=just buy lots. I figure in C I won't be blowing so many out, for example, tuning the G.
Plus it's just heavier.
Thanks for the replies! I know somebody out there has had to have had one of these though.
